Abstract
La neutropénie fébrile (NF) est une situation fréquemment rencontrée aux urgences avec un taux de mortalité non négligeable variant de 5 à 40 %. Cette variabilité importante met en avant l’importance de stratifier le risque afin de permettre un traitement ambulatoire per os de certains patients à faible risque. En plus du MASCC (The Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer) score, d’autres outils permettent d’évaluer ce risque ou sont à l’étude dans ce but, tels que le dosage de la CRP, la procalcitonine ou encore le score CISNE. Après une prise en charge rapide aux urgences incluant l’administration sans délai d’un traitement adéquat, la poursuite de l’antibiothérapie per os à domicile est envisageable chez les patients à faible risque. La combinaison amoxicilline–acide clavulanique et ciprofloxacine est le plus souvent recommandée, mais la moxifloxacine ou la lévofloxacine en monothérapie peuvent également être utilisées pour les patients traités à domicile. Le retour à domicile permet de réduire fortement les coûts engendrés par l’hospitalisation, de diminuer le risque d’infection nosocomiale et d’améliorer la qualité de vie des patients avec NF à faible risque. Dans cette optique, plusieurs critères doivent être remplis, et une discussion avec le patient reste primordiale à la prise de décision. Parmi ceux-ci, nous retiendrons notamment un score MASCC supérieur à 21, une durée attendue de neutropénie inférieure à sept jours, l’accord du patient et de son entourage ainsi que la proximité entre le domicile et un service de soin adapté.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) opened a new era in HCV treatment. We report the impact of HCV treatment in French HIV-HCV coinfected patients. METHODS All HIV-HCV patients from the Dat'AIDS cohort followed between 2012 and 2015 were included. HCV status was defined yearly as naive, spontaneous cure, sustained virological response (SVR12), failure or reinfection. RESULTS Among 32,945 HIV-infected patients, 15.2% were positive for anti-HCV antibodies. From 2012 to 2015, HCV incidence rate increased from 0.35%PY to 0.69%PY in MSM, while median incidence was 0.08%PY in other patients. Median reinfection rate was 2.56%PY in MSM and 0.22%PY in other patients. HCV treatment initiation rate rose from 8.2% in 2012 to 29.6% (48.0% in pre-treated patients vs 22.6% in naïve patients). SVR12 rate increased from 68.7% to 95.2%. By the end of 2015, 62.7% of the patients were cured either spontaneously or following SVR. CONCLUSIONS HCV treatment dramatically increased in HIV-HCV patients in France from 2012 to 2015 resulting in HCV cure in nearly two-thirds of the patients in this cohort. Combined with a declining HCV prevalence, the prevalence of active HCV infection among HIV patients will drastically decrease in the forthcoming years.

Abstract
Whether dieting makes people fatter has been a subject of considerable controversy over the past 30 years. More recent analysis of several prospective studies suggest, however, that it is dieting to lose weight in people who are in the healthy normal range of body weight, rather than in those who are overweight or obese, that most strongly and consistently predict future weight gain. This paper analyses the ongoing arguments in the debate about whether repeated dieting to lose weight in normal-weight people represents unsuccessful attempts to counter genetic and familial predispositions to obesity, a psychosocial reaction to the fear of fatness or that dieting per se confers risks for fatness and hence a contributing factor to the obesity epidemic. In addressing the biological plausibility that dieting predisposes the lean (rather than the overweight or obese) to regaining more body fat than what had been lost (i.e. fat overshooting), it integrates the results derived from the re-analysis of body composition data on fat mass and fat-free mass (FFM) losses and recoveries from human studies of experimental energy restriction and refeeding. These suggest that feedback signals from the depletion of both fat mass (i.e. adipostats) and FFM (i.e. proteinstats) contribute to weight regain through the modulation of energy intake and adaptive thermogenesis, and that a faster rate of fat recovery relative to FFM recovery (i.e. preferential catch-up fat) is a central outcome of body composition autoregulation in lean individuals. Such a temporal desynchronization in the restoration of the body's fat vs. FFM results in a state of hyperphagia that persists beyond complete recovery of fat mass and interestingly until FFM is fully recovered. However, as this completion of FFM recovery is also accompanied by fat deposition, excess fat accumulates. In other words, fat overshooting is a prerequisite to allow complete recovery of FFM. This confers biological plausibility for post-dieting fat overshooting - which through repeated dieting and weight cycling would increase the risks for trajectories from leanness to fatness. Given the increasing prevalence of dieting in normal-weight female and male among young adults, adolescents and even children who perceive themselves as too fat (due to media, family and societal pressures), together with the high prevalence of dieting for optimizing performance among athletes in weight-sensitive sports, the notion that dieting and weight cycling may be predisposing a substantial proportion of the population to weight gain and obesity deserves greater scientific scrutiny.

Abstract
The novel SPF10 real-time PCR assay allows the simultaneous amplification and detection of the HPV target. That way, LiPA analysis of the HPV-negative samples can be avoided, reducing workload and cost. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the SPF10 real-time PCR in combination with the LiPA assay for HPV detection and typing in cervical samples. Thirty-nine cervical samples were subjected to the SPF10 conventional PCR in combination with the LiPA assay. Subsequently, the SPF10 real-time PCR was performed to enable the comparison between the SPF10 conventional and the real-time PCR results. In case of discrepancy, the samples were subjected to the CLART HPV2 assay. As a result, 27 out of 39 samples were identified as HPV-positive by the SPF10 real-time PCR and were genotyped further by the LiPA assay. Twenty samples (74.1%) showed an absolute agreement between the conventional and real-time SPF10 PCR (concordant), three (11.1%) displayed additional or fewer types (compatible), two (7.4%) did not show any similarity between both assays (discordant) and the remaining two (7.4%) were LiPA-negative. The two assays showed an excellent strength of agreement for individual (κ=0.932) and multiple genotype detection (κ=0.834). In conclusion, the two SPF10 PCR methods are comparable. Therefore, the SPF10 real-time PCR with subsequent LiPA could be used for the detection and genotyping of HPV in cervical samples.

Abstract
According to Lavoisier, 'Life is combustion'. But to what extent humans adapt to changes in food intake through adaptive thermogenesis--by turning down the rate of heat production during energy deficit (so as to conserve energy) or turning it up during overnutrition (so as to dissipate excess calories)--has been one of the most controversial issues in nutritional sciences over the past 100 years. The debate nowadays is not whether adaptive thermogenesis exists or not, but rather about its quantitative importance in weight homoeostasis and its clinical relevance to the pathogenesis and management of obesity. Such uncertainties are likely to persist in the foreseeable future primarily because of limitations to unobtrusively measure changes in energy expenditure and body composition with high enough accuracy and precision, particularly when even small inter-individual variations in thermogenesis can, in dynamic systems and over the long term, be important in the determining weight maintenance in some and obesity and weight regain in others. This paper reviews the considerable body of evidence, albeit fragmentary, suggesting the existence of quantitatively important adaptive thermogenesis in several compartments of energy expenditure in response to altered food intake. It then discusses the various limitations that lead to over- or underestimations in its assessment, including definitional and semantics, technical and methodological, analytical and statistical. While the role of adaptive thermogenesis in human weight regulation is likely to remain more a concept than a strictly 'quantifiable' entity in the foreseeable future, the evolution of this concept continues to fuel exciting hypothesis-driven mechanistic research which contributes to advance knowledge in human metabolism and which is bound to result in improved strategies for the management of a healthy body weight.

Abstract
Dynamic changes in body weight have long been recognized as important indicators of risk for debilitating diseases. While weight loss or impaired growth can lead to muscle wastage, as well as to susceptibility to infections and organ dysfunctions, the development of excess fat predisposes to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, with insulin resistance as a central feature of the disease entities of the metabolic syndrome. Although widely used as the phenotypic expression of adiposity in population and gene-search studies, body mass index (BMI), that is, weight/height(2) (H(2)), which was developed as an operational definition for classifying both obesity and malnutrition, has considerable limitations in delineating fat mass (FM) from fat-free mass (FFM), in particular at the individual level. After an examination of these limitations within the constraints of the BMI-FM% relationship, this paper reviews recent advances in concepts about health risks related to body composition phenotypes, which center upon (i) the partitioning of BMI into an FM index (FM/H(2)) and an FFM index (FFM/H(2)), (ii) the partitioning of FFM into organ mass and skeletal muscle mass, (iii) the anatomical partitioning of FM into hazardous fat and protective fat and (iv) the interplay between adipose tissue expandability and ectopic fat deposition within or around organs/tissues that constitute the lean body mass. These concepts about body composition phenotypes and health risks are reviewed in the light of race/ethnic variability in metabolic susceptibility to obesity and the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
The analyses of large epidemiological databases have suggested that infants and children who show catch-up growth, or adiposity rebound at a younger age, are predisposed to the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases later in life. The pathophysiological mechanisms by which these growth trajectories confer increased risks for these diseases are obscure, but there is compelling evidence that the dynamic process of catch-up growth per se, which often overlaps with adiposity rebound at a younger age, is characterized by hyperinsulinemia and by a disproportionately higher rate in the recovery of body fat than lean tissue (i.e. preferential 'catch-up fat'). This paper first focuses upon the almost ubiquitous nature of this preferential 'catch-up fat' phenotype across the life cycle as a risk factor for obesity and insulin-related complications - not only in infants and children who experienced catch-up growth after earlier fetal or neonatal growth retardation, or after preterm birth, but also in adults who show weight recovery after substantial weight loss owing to famine, disease-cachexia or periodic dieting. It subsequently reviews the evidence indicating that such preferential catch-up fat is primarily driven by energy conservation (thrifty) mechanisms operating via suppressed thermogenesis, with glucose thus spared from oxidation in skeletal muscle being directed towards de novo lipogenesis and storage in white adipose tissue. A molecular-physiological framework is presented which integrates emerging insights into the mechanisms by which this thrifty 'catch-up fat' phenotype crosslinks with early development of insulin and leptin resistance. In the complex interactions between genetic constitution of the individual, programming earlier in life, and a subsequent lifestyle of energy dense foods and low physical activity, this thrifty 'catch-up fat' phenotype--which probably evolved to increase survival capacity in a hunter-gatherer lifestyle of periodic food shortages--is a central event in growth trajectories to obesity and to diseases that cluster into the insulin resistance (metabolic) syndrome.

Abstract
Central venous access port devices (CVAPD) are necessary for delivery of prolonged infusional chemotherapy or in patients with poor peripheral venous access. Previous studies of Hickman catheters report complication rates in about 45% of patients. Our aim was to assess the early and late complication rate, and duration that the CVAPD remained functional, following insertion by interventional radiologists in patients with solid tumours. A prospective study was undertaken in 110 consecutive patients who had insertion of 111 subclavian CVAPD. The median age of patients was 57 years (range 17–83), 64 were females; 68 patients (61%) had gastrointestinal tumours and 25 (23%) had breast cancer. CVAPD were successfully implanted in all but one patient. There were four (4%) immediate major complications: thrombosis 2 and pneumothorax 2. Nine patients (8%) had bruising or pain. Four devices (4%) became infected. In total, 100 CVAPD (90%) were either removed as planned at the end of treatment (n=23) after a median 203 days, or remained in situ for a median of 237 days (7–1133). Premature removal occurred in eight patients due to infection (n=4), thrombosis (n=3) or faulty device (n=1). Four patients were lost to follow-up. Radiological insertion of CVAPD is safe and convenient with low rates of complications.

Abstract
It has long been known that obesity is a high risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In more recent years, the analysis of several large epidemiological databases has also revealed that, independently of excess weight, large fluctuations in body weight at some point earlier in life represent an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes and hypertension-two major contributors to cardiovascular diseases. High cardiovascular morbidity and mortality have indeed been reported in men and women who in young adulthood experienced weight fluctuations (involving the recovery of body weight after weight loss due to disease, famine or voluntary slimming), or when weight fluctuations occurred much earlier in life and involved catch-up growth after fetal or neonatal growth retardation. This paper addresses the pathways from weight fluctuations to chronic metabolic diseases by focusing on the phenomenon of accelerated fat recovery (ie catch-up fat) after weight loss or growth retardation. Arguments are put forward that, during catch-up growth or weight recovery on our modern refined foods, the mechanisms of adaptive thermogenesis that regulate catch-up fat are pushed beyond the limits for which they were meant to operate and turn maladaptive. The consequences are enhanced susceptibilities towards skeletal muscle insulin resistance and overactive sympathetic activity, both of which are major contributors to the pathogenesis of chronic metabolic diseases. Since weight fluctuation earlier in life (independently of excess weight later in life) is an independent risk factor for metabolic diseases, the mechanisms by which body fat is acquired would seem to be at least as important as the consequences of excess fat per se in the pathogenesis of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Much of our understanding about 'adaptive thermogenesis' as a control system in mammalian weight regulation derives from studies of experimental starvation and overfeeding, and these have served to characterize its functional role as an 'attenuator' of energy imbalance. By applying a system-analysis approach in evaluating data on the energetics of starvation and refeeding, evidence is presented here in support of the hypothesis that there are in fact two distinct control systems underlying adaptive thermogenesis. In one of them, the efferent limb is primarily under the control of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), whose functional state is dictated by overlapping or interacting signals arising from a variety of environmental stresses, including food deprivation, deficiency of essential nutrients, excess energy intake and exposure to cold or to infections; it is hence referred to as the non-specific control of thermogenesis, and is likely to occur primarily in organs/tissues with a high specific metabolic rate (eg liver, kidneys, brown fat). The other is independent of the functional state of the SNS and is dictated solely by signals arising from the state of depletion of the adipose tissue fat stores; it is hence referred to as the adipose-specific control of thermogenesis, and is postulated to occur primarily in the skeletal muscle. While suppression of this adipose-specific thermogenesis during both starvation and refeeding leads to energy conservation, the energy spared during refeeding is directed specifically at the replenishment of the fat stores, so that it functions as an 'accelerator' of fat recovery. These two distinct control systems for adaptive thermogenesis have been incorporated in a compartmental model of body weight and body composition regulation. This is used to provide a mechanistic explanation as to how, during weight recovery, they can operate simultaneously but in opposite directions--with activation of thermogenesis under non-specific control being energy-dissipating, while suppression of thermogenesis under adipose-specific control being energy-conserving--and could hence explain the paradox of a high efficiency of fat recovery co-existing with an overall state of enhanced thermogenesis and hypermetabolism. Elucidating the components of the adipose-specific control of thermogenesis (ie its sensors, signals and effector mechanisms) will have important implications for our understanding of body composition regulation, and hence for the development of more effective strategies in the management of cachexia and obesity.

Abstract
In search for an approach to identify physiological targets for therapeutic intervention in obesity management, we have revisited the classic human overfeeding studies of the 1960s, with new emphasis on a 'subgroup' of volunteers who were shifted between overfeeding on a typical affluent (normal-protein) diet and overfeeding on a low-protein diet. Following a re-analysis of these data, the arguments are put forward that since low-protein overfeeding is not only a potent stimulus of thermogenesis, but also an amplifier (or magnifier) of the small inter-individual variations in thermogenesis on the affluent (normal-protein) diet, it can be used as a tool to unmask some of the genetic and metabolic basis underlying human susceptibility to leanness and fatness.

Abstract
Human subjects vary in the extent to which their body's protein and fat compartments are mobilized for fuel during starvation. Although an inverse association between the initial adiposity and the contribution of protein as fuel during starvation has been known for nearly a century, interest in the quantitative importance and functional significance of the initial percentage fat as a determinant of biological variation in energy-partitioning between protein and fat (and hence in determining the partitioning characteristic of the individual) is relatively recent. The present paper addresses these issues by revisiting the classic Minnesota experiment of semi-starvation and refeeding from a standpoint of system physiology. In a quantitative analysis of the relationship between the initial body composition (ration FAT0: fat-free mass (FFM)0) and the composition of weight loss (ratio delta FAT: delta FFM) in the thirty-two men in the Minnesota study, the arguments are put forward that the fraction of FFM lost when the fat stores reach total depletion is independent of the initial percentage fat, and that this fraction represents the 'dispensable' component of the protein compartment that is compatible with life (i.e. the protein energy-reserve, rp). The concepts are developed that (1) the initial percentage body fat (which reflects the initial ratio FAT0:FFM0) provides a 'memory of partitioning' which dictates the control of partitioning between protein and fat in such a way that both the protein energy-reserve (rp) and the fat energy-reserve (rf) each complete depletion simultaneously, a strategy that would ensure maximum length of survival during long-term food scarcity, and that (2) variability in the relative sizes of these two energy reserves (i.e. in rf:rp) could, in addition to the initial percentage fat, also contribute to human variability in energy-partitioning. The basic assumptions underlying this re-analysis of the Minnesota data, and the concepts that are derived from it, have been integrated in the simple mathematical model for predicting the partitioning characteristic of the individual. This model is used to explain how variability in the fraction of the protein compartment that could function as an energy reserve (rp) can be as important as the initial percentage fat in determining inter-individual variability in protein-sparing during the early phase of starvation, in fuel partitioning during prolonged starvation, or in the maximum percentage weight loss during starvation. The elucidation of factors underlying variability in the size of the protein energy-reserve may have important implications for our understanding of the pathophysiology of starvation and age-associated susceptibility to muscle wasting, and in the clinical management of cachexia and obesity.

Abstract
We assessed the importance of lean and fat tissue depletion as determinants of the adaptive reduction in basal metabolic rate (BMR) in response to food deprivation by reanalyzing the data on BMR and body composition for the 32 men participating in the classic Minnesota experiment of semi-starvation and refeeding. We used individual data on BMR, body fat, and fat-free mass (FFM) assessed during the control (prestarvation) period, at weeks 12 and 24 of semistarvation (S12 and S24), and week 12 of restricted refeeding (R 12) to calculate an index of the reduction in thermogenesis at S12, S24, and R12, defined as the change in BMR adjusted for changes in FFM and fat mass, and an index of the state of depletion of the fat mass and FFM compartments at these times, defined as the deviation in fat mass or FFM relative to control values. The results indicated a positive relation between the reduction in thermogenesis and the degree of fat mass depletion (but not FFM depletion) during weight loss as well as during weight recovery (r = 0.5, P < 0.01). Furthermore, the residual variance was predicted by the initial (prestarvation) percentage fat and the cormic index (sitting height/height). Taken together, these results in normal-weight men responding to severe food deprivation reveal anthropometric predictors for human interindividual variability in the capacity for energy conservation and suggest that the adaptive reduction in BMR is partly determined by an autoregulatory feedback control system linking the state of depletion of fat stores to compensatory mechanisms that suppress thermogenesis.

Abstract
An increase in the sensation of hunger and overeating after a period of chronic energy deprivation can be part of an autoregulatory phenomenon attempting to restore body weight. To gain insights into the role of fat and lean tissue depletion as determinants of such a hyperphagic response in humans, we reanalyzed the individual data on food intake and body composition available for the 12 starved and refed men in the classical Minnesota Experiment after a shift from a 12-wk period of restricted refeeding to an ad libitum refeeding period of 8 wk. For each individual, the following were determined: 1) the total hyperphagic response during the ad libitum refeeding period, calculated as the energy intake in excess of that during the prestarvation (control) period; 2) the degree of fat recovery and that of fat-free-mass (FFM) recovery before ad libitum refeeding, calculated as the deviation in fat and FFM from their respective prestarvation values (ie, the amount of fat or FFM before ad libitum refeeding as a percentage of fat or FFM during the control period); and 3) the deficit in energy intake before ad libitum refeeding, calculated as the difference between the energy intake during the period of restricted refeeding and that during the control period. The results indicate that 1) the total hyperphagic response is inversely correlated with the degree of fat recovery (r = -0.6) as well as with that of FFM recovery (r = -0.5), 2) the correlation between hyperphagia and FFM recovery persists after adjustment for fat recovery, and 3) the correlations between hyperphagia and fat recovery or FFM recovery persist after adjustment for the variance in the energy deficit during the preceding period of restricted refeeding. Taken together, these results in humans suggest that poststarvation hyperphagia is determined to a large extent by autoregulatory feedback mechanisms from both fat and lean tissues. These findings, which have implications for both the treatment of obesity and for nutritional rehabilitation after malnutrition and cachexia, have been integrated into a compartmental model of autoregulation of body composition, and can be used to explain the phenomenon of poststarvation overshoot in body fat.

Abstract
Net Ca2+ uptake into intracellular Ca2+ stores of homogenized cells is transient, even when the extravesicular Ca2+ concentration is kept constant. To study the mechanism underlying the phenomenon, we have investigated 45Ca2+ uptake by HL-60 cell homogenates. The initial rate of Ca2+ uptake as well as the final amount of stored Ca2+ were a function of the extravesicular Ca2+ concentration. However, Ca2+ uptake stopped independently of the extravesicular Ca2+ concentration after approximately 10 min. Studies using Ca2+-ATPase inhibitors demonstrated that the transient nature of the net uptake was not due to Ca2+ efflux. Monovalent cation ionophores did not influence the Ca2+ uptake curves, excluding a relevant involvement of pH and membrane potential. Together with the observation of a continued Ca2+ uptake in the presence of the intralumenal Ca2+ chelator oxalate, these results strongly suggest a feedback inhibition of Ca2+ uptake by the Ca2+ load of intracellular stores. The concentration-inhibition relationship between the Ca2+ load and the rate of Ca2+ uptake was highly supralinear (slope factor >/= 4). IC50 and maximum of the dose-inhibition curve, but not the slope factor were a function of the extravesicular free Ca2+ concentration. A series of three logistic equations derived from our data allowed an appropriate description of the behavior of Ca2+ uptake. Our results suggest, in addition to its well known activation by cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, a highly supralinear feedback inhibition of Ca2+ uptake by the Ca2+ load of intracellular stores. The steepness of the feedback inhibition might have a profound effect on spatial and temporal behavior of the Ca2+ signal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that the primary cause of short stature in African Pygmies resides in low levels of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and to evaluate whether any observed alterations in their systemic IGF-I status can be dissociated from the effects of malnutrition and/or altered immune status. SETTING Expedition to camps of partially sedentarized African Pygmies and neighbouring Bantu farmers living in the equatorial rain forest of Eastern Cameroon. DESIGN Serum assays for hormonal and immune status were conducted for individuals (children, adolescents, young and old adults) showing no overt clinical nor biochemical signs of malnutrition, as judged from anthropometry, clinical examinations and serum assays of albumin, pre-albumin, retinol-binding protein, transferrin, iron, zinc, magnesium and calcium. RESULTS African Pygmies did not differ from Europeans or Bantus in mean serum IGF-I concentrations, nor in the relationship between serum IGF-I and its major binding protein (IGFBP-3). However, although in both African groups the immunoglobulins IgG, IgM and IgE as well as the C-reactive protein and ceruloplasmin were above the normal range of European references, the Pygmies differed from their Bantu neighbours in their much higher IgG and IgM serum levels. A plot of serum IGF-I against these immunoglobulins in Pygmies revealed a reverse sigmoidal relationship, with the low IGF-I values associated with serum levels of IgG and IgM which clearly exceeded those found in the Bantus. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that in growing and adult African Pygmies showing no clinical nor biochemical signs of nutritional deficiency, serum IGF-I and IGFBP-3 (hence IGF-I bioavailability to its receptors) are essentially normal, and that low circulating levels of IGF-I in Pygmies reside in differential exposure and/or responsiveness to environmental challenge (e.g. infections) rather than in an inherited defect in the systemic growth-hormone (GH)-IGF-I axis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To gain insights into the control systems underlying human variability in the regulation of body composition during weight recovery, as well as the disproportionate recovery of fat relative to lean tissue, the classical Minnesota Experiment conducted on 32 men subjected to long-term semi-starvation and refeeding was revisited with the following objectives: (1) to determine whether the control of energy-partitioning between lean and fat tissues during weight loss and weight recovery is an individual characteristic, and if a predictor can be statistically identified, (2) to determine whether the reduction in thermogenesis during weight loss persists during weight recovery, and underlies the disproportionate recovery of fat tissue and (3) to integrate the control of energy-partitioning and that of thermogenesis in order to explain the pattern of lean and fat tissue mobilisation and deposition during weight loss and weight recovery. METHODS Individual data on body weight, body fat, fat-free-mass (FFM), and basal metabolic rate (BMR), assessed during the control baseline period (i.e. prior to weight loss), at the end of 24 weeks of semi-starvation, and at the end of a 12 week period of restricted refeeding, were used to calculate the following parameters: (i) a quantitative index of energy-partitioning, the P-ratio, defined as the proportion of body energy mobilised as protein during weight loss, or as the proportion of body energy deposited as protein during weight recovery, (ii) a quantitative index of changes in thermogenesis, defined as the change in BMR adjusted for FFM (or for both FFM and fat mass) and (iii) the degree of replenishment of fat and FFM compartments, defined as the recovery of body fat and FFM (during refeeding) as a percentage of that lost during semi-starvation. RESULTS This re-analysis indicates the following: (i) a large inter-individual variability in P-ratio during both weight loss and weight recovery, but for a given individual, the P-ratio during refeeding is strongly correlated with the P-ratio during semi-starvation, (ii) body composition during the control period is the most important predictor of variability in P-ratio, such that the higher the initial % body fat, the lower the proportion of energy mobilised as protein, and hence the greater the propensity to mobilise fat during semi-starvation and to subsequently deposit fat during refeeding and (iii) at week 12 of refeeding, the change in adjusted BMR is found to be reduced by a magnitude which is inversely proportional to the degree of fat recovery, but is unrelated to the degree of FFM recovery. A quantitative relationship is derived between the P-ratio during refeeding, the % fat recovery, and the P-ratio during semi-starvation. CONCLUSIONS Evidence is presented here suggesting that (i) human variability in the pattern of lean and fat tissue deposition during weight recovery is to a large extent determined by individual variations in the control of energy-partitioning, for which the initial % body fat is the most important predictor and (ii) the disproportionate gain in fat relative to lean tissue during weight recovery is contributed by a reduction in thermogenesis (i.e. increased efficiency of food utilization) for accelerating specifically the replenishment of the fat stores. These control systems, operating via energy-partitioning and thermogenesis, have been integrated into a compartmental model for the regulation of body composition during underfeeding/refeeding, and can be used to explain the individual pattern of lean and fat tissue deposition during weight recovery in situations ranging from the rehabilitation after malnutrition to the relapse of obesity.

Abstract
To study the initial kinetics of Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced [Ca2+]i elevations with a high time resolution and to avoid the problem of cell-to-cell heterogeneity, we have used the combined patch-clamp/microfluorimetry technique. The mathematical description of the microperfusion of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the subsequent Ca2+ release consists of a monoexponential decay (cytosolic Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration) and a Hill equation (Ins(1,4,5)P3 dose-response curve). Two additional Hill equations and an integration were necessary to include a putative dependence of Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release on [Ca2+]i. Best-fitting analysis assuming [Ca2+]i-independent Ca2+ release yielded Hill coefficients between 4 and 12. The high cooperativity was also observed with the poorly metabolizable analog Ins(2,4,5)P3 and was independent of extracellular [Ca2+]. Best-fitting analysis including a positive [Ca2+]i feedback suggested a cooperativity on the level of Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced channel opening (n = 2) and an enhancement of Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release by [Ca2+]i. In summary, the onset kinetics of Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced [Ca2+]i elevations in single HL-60 granulocytes showed a very high cooperativity, presumably because of a cooperativity on the level of channel opening and a positive Ca2+ feedback, but not because of Ca2+ influx or Ins(1,4,5)P3 metabolism. This high cooperativity, acting in concert with negative feedback mechanisms, might play an important role in the fine-tuning of the cellular Ca2+ signal.

Abstract
1. A loose patch electrode was used to stimulate axon terminals and to record evoked electroplaque currents (EPCs) in a limited area of innervated membrane of the electric organ of Torpedo marmorata. Electrophysiological signals were compared to the predictions of a semi-quantitative model of synaptic transmission which was designed to simulate the release of several packets of neurotransmitter molecules, at the same or at different sites of the synapse, synchronously or with various temporal patterns. 2. The amplitude distribution of EPCs evoked by activation of nerve terminals showed quantal steps. The time to peak of EPCs was in most cases independent of amplitude, but in their decaying phase a positive correlation was seen between half-decay time and amplitude. Comparison with the model suggested that (i) a dynamic interaction occurred at the end of the EPC between the fields of postsynaptic membrane activated by individual quanta, and (ii) the sites of quantal release in the electric organ are separated from each other by 600-1000 nm. 3. Spontaneous miniature electroplaque potentials (MEPPs) were recorded externally with the same type of loose patch electrode. The majority (75%) of external MEPPs displayed a homogeneous and rapid time course. This fast MEPP population had a mean time to peak of 0.43 ms, a half-decay time of 0.45 ms and a time constant of decay of 0.35 ms. 4. Despite homogeneous characteristics of time course, fast MEPPs exhibited a wide amplitude distribution with a main population which could be fitted by a Gaussian curve around 1 mV, and another population of small amplitude. Both the time-to-peak and the half-decay time of fast MEPPs showed a positive correlation with the amplitude from the smallest to the largest events. Acetylcholinesterase was not blocked. 5. In addition to the fast MEPPs, spontaneous signals exhibiting a slow rate of rise, or a slow rate of decay, or both were observed. They occurred at any time during the experiment, independently of the overall frequency. Approximately 15% of the total number of events had a slow rise but their decay phase was nevertheless rapid and could be ascribed to the kinetics of receptors. These slow-rising MEPPs exhibited a variety of conformations: slow but smooth rise, sudden change of slope and sometimes several bumps or inflexions. Their average amplitude was significantly smaller than that of the main population of fast MEPPs. 6. Composite MEPPs with multiple peaks as well as bursts of small MEPPs were often encountered, even during periods of low frequency.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Pulmonary functions at rest and cardiorespiratory responses to low speed treadmill walking were investigated in 24 patients (P), (mean age, 38 years; range, 20 to 56 yr) with multiple sclerosis and compared with a control group (C). The following parameters were significantly (p less than 0.01) different in P from those in C. At rest in P, the residual volume to TLC ratio was 21% greater, respiratory muscle strength index was 28% lower, and heart rate (HR) was 11 beats/min-1 higher. During treadmill walking at a given speed, HR, minute ventilation (VE), and O2 consumption (VO2) were all elevated (37 to 119%). In addition, the energy cost of walking, per unit distance, above resting, was 2 to 3 times greater, with mean +/- SEM values for P of 0.299 +/- 0.019 and C of 0.147 +/- 0.006 at 2 km/h and 0.275 +/- 0.042 and 0.110 +/- 0.005 (for P and C, respectively) ml O2 kg-1 m-1 at 4 km/h; the HR and VE/VO2, also when referred to a given VO2, were higher. We conclude that a high energy cost of walking may be an important contributing factor to breathlessness and leg fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis. Poor conditioning, altered cardiovascular control, and respiratory muscle weakness may play additional roles.

Abstract
There exists a relationship between the chemical structure C--NO or N--NO and biological effects. p-nitrosomethylaniline, a C-nitroso compound, in contrast to its isomer, N-nitrosomethylphenylamine, a N-nitroso derivate, shows a marked action against microoganisms and is, alone, reduced enzymatically.
